Control Panel Settings; Select Rpm/Rcf - Thermo Scientific Medifuge Instructions For Use Manual

Control Panel Settings

The centrifuge always shows the actual operating values� Only when changing speed and time the
centrifuge will show the set parameters� The centrifuge will show "0" for speed and time, if switched
on and it is not operating� An animation will be shown, when the centrifuge is spinning�

Select RPM/RCF

Speed is shown in Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) mulitplied with one thousand (x1000)�
Example for 4 900 rpm:
RCF stands for Relative Centrifugal Force and allows better transfer of protocols between centrifuges
and rotors of differing size�
Ensure that the rpm or RCF is set correctly�
To save selected parameters as a program:
1� Press the TOGGLE key below the SPEED display to cycle through the RPM / RCF selection�
The RPM / RCF selection is divided into "RPM", "XG 90°" and "XG 45°"�
"XG 90°" and "XG 45°" are available to set the correct RCF for centrifugation with the swing
out or the fixed angle buckets� You can also use a mixed bucket set up� That will only show
the correct RCF setting for one type of buckets�
NOTICE If you switch from rpm to x g it is possible, that the shown value can differ
slightly from the exact mathematical calculated value due to rounding effects.
The LED light indicates the selection�
You can switch between rpm and RCF during a run by pressing the TOGGLE key�
